The Bacillus cereus group includes several Bacillus species with closely related phylogeny.
The most well-studied members of the group, B. anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis …

Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial cell-to-cell communication process, dynamically regulates
a variety of metabolism and physiological activities. In this review, we provide an update on …

Bacteria use diffusible chemical messengers, termed pheromones, to coordinate gene
expression and behavior among cells in a community by a process known as quorum …

Biofouling, the biological process leading to the accumulation of microorganisms, has been
promoted for over a decade in aquaculture, particularly in biofloc technology, biofilm‐based …

Within Gram-positive bacteria, the expression of target genes is controlled at the population
level via signaling peptides, also known as pheromones. Pheromones control a wide range …

Quorum sensing is a process in which bacteria secrete and sense a diffusible molecule,
thereby enabling bacterial groups to coordinate their behavior in a density-dependent …

Insects are the largest group of animals on earth. Like mammals, virus, fungi, bacteria and
parasites infect them. Several tissue barriers and defense mechanisms are common for …

Invasive infection by the Gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is controlled by a
four gene operon, agr that encodes a quorum sensing system for the regulation of virulence …

Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic pathogen that forms spores which promote survival in
the environment and transmission to new hosts. The regulatory pathways by which C …

Phenyllactic acid (PLA) as a phenolic acid by lactic acid (LA) bacteria shows enhanced
